It would be sinful if i didn't write this blog about the World Cup.
No i'm not really a sports fanatic but even i get extremely passionate about the World Cup - hot flushes and all.
Even if you didn't know a lot about football, who could deny following the World Cup 2010...

Gosh the annoying vuvuzela - where fans are literally blowing their own trumpet and disturbing the players. I want one...
A masive field full of athletic dramatic men - love when they roll around the grass because they hurt their little finger. So hot.
But on a serious note, no sport in the world brings us closer then the football. Did you know its watched by over 2 billion people? wow! (Eventhough its probably got to do more with the abs and less with the football)
Australia has had a short but interesting run this year. Game 1 against Germany was cringe worthy.Enough said.And in Game 2 I felt incredibly guilty that i had so much hatred toward a third world team who probably deserved to win more then any other. Not even Jesus or Joshua Kennedy rather, could save us in the second round.
And what about the bloody Italians. They might make a good pasta but they seem to be ripping us off time and time again. Last World Cup they literally stole our right to win and this year the dodgy referee gave Kewell a red card for something that was out of his control. Where was he supposed to move his hand you retard? the ball was moving at a million miles per hour!
Ahhh love the World Cup. Have you ever watched the World Cup when you're alone in a room? Its really the only time its ok to scream at your tv like a crazy person. In normal everyday life its considered mental and the first signs of insanity. But when it comes to the World Cup, its football sanity.
But over and above the sea of disappointment as people drive home discouraged, i have realised nothing makes us feel more patriotic, then the World Cup.

As we were driving home in the darkness disheartened after watching the shocking game, we saw swarms of green and gold flags on cars, people with green and gold jerseys on and ofcourse billboards of businesses taking advantage of world cup marketing, the sense of unity was electrifying.
One of my friends said something quite powerful...sure you didn't win Socceroos, but you gave us something better then a win. A sense of unity.
Could not have said it better myself.

Winning a game is nothing compared to winning Love.
